This Forward is Not Serious

The second season of Yongwang Battle is coming sooner than everyone expected.

The outside world's expectations for this game are also greater than expected.

The main reason is naturally because of Lin Ying's current way of playing.

He has replicated Bird's deeds in two consecutive games. No one knows whether he will do it for a third consecutive game, but he also wants to know.

And compared with previous opponents, the Warriors, an old opponent, has obviously attracted more attention.

If Lin Ying really pretends to be a pervert in this kind of focused battle, then his nickname of "New Pervert King" will be well deserved.

Of course, they were also curious about what kind of coolness Lin Ying would pretend to be if he really wanted to show off.

On social media, some fans have begun to list Bird's pretentious deeds, and some even reenacted the scene.

For example, someone used the experience of Bird and "Dr. J" Irving as an example.

In one game that year, Dr. J was in poor condition and only scored 6 points in the game, while Bird, who faced him, scored 42 points.

The classic scene came from the third quarter, when Bird had already scored 36 points, while Dr. J only had 6 points, and then Bird kept chanting the words "36-6" next to Irving.

Because Bird's trash talk was so annoying, and Irving was really not in a good state at the time, he became angry and grabbed Bird's neck. Then Bird didn't show any weakness and grabbed Irving's neck.

The fight between the two became a widely circulated world-famous painting.jpg.

The reason why they thought of this was because Lin Ying would face off against Green!

If Lin Ying wants to break Green's mentality, this method will be very effective.

Because besides having a bad mouth, another characteristic of Green is his bad temper.

If Lin Ying kept repeating those words, Green would probably be irritated.

At that time, what fans will focus on is whether Green dares to reach out and pinch Lin Ying's neck.

If you really pinch it, well, if you just rush to watch the fun and don’t take it too seriously, it will definitely be quite exciting.

…

One day later, Oracle Arena.

Although it is not a Christmas Day game, the lively scene at Oracle Arena is no less than that at Barclays Center.

The scene was crowded, and the faces of the fans were full of excitement and anticipation.

The Warriors' recent form has improved, and the main reason is that Green's three-point shooting has improved.

One thing needs to be said here. The degradation of Green's three-pointers in history is step by step, rather than suddenly losing three-pointers.

And there is an inevitable connection between his three-point degradation and Durant's joining.

Because the Warriors have three historical shooters on the court, Green basically doesn't need to throw three-pointers.

So judging from historical data, Green's three-point shooting dropped off a cliff after Durant joined.

But now it is James who comes to the Warriors, not Durant, so Green did not suddenly lose his three-point ability, but because he gained too much weight and lost his shooting touch. In addition, the more he shot, the more he missed the shot. question.

Therefore, there is a chance for his outside touch to improve.

And once he can make some shots, the Warriors' sense of space on the court will become much better, and James will play more freely.

Moreover, the offensive talent of this Warriors is too high. They actually don't need Green's three-pointer to Jokic's level.

As long as it doesn't hold you back, it's already a big help.

During the warm-up before the game, you could see Green and James talking and laughing again.

But this is the NBA. There are not many teams with a harmonious atmosphere like the Nets.

"are you ready?"

During the warm-up, Durant suddenly approached Lin Ying and asked.

Lin Ying nodded.

But when he saw Durant making a boxing gesture in front of him, he realized that he seemed to have misunderstood.

He thought Durant was asking about pretense.

But he didn't say anything else, because even if the question was about boxing, he was already ready.

Durant said "hehe" and then geared up, looking more excited than him.

Lin Ying shook his head helplessly after seeing it. Durant, like those fans, was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

The pre-match warm-up was over and the scene entered the opening ceremony, with the starters from both sides taking the stage one after another.

The Nets' full lineup includes Bradley, Ariza, Durant, Lin Ying, and Jokic;

For the Warriors, Curry, Thompson, James, Green, McGee.

Pachulia missed the game with a foot injury.

Last season's Finals was a stepping stone for Durant, who suffered a bone fracture in his foot.

For big players, foot injuries are the most tormenting and difficult to deal with due to their heavy weight.

Prior to this, Pachulia had already missed several games due to a foot injury, and now it is the same situation again, and it is his fifth consecutive absence.

It seems that this injury will accompany him throughout his career.

After the opening ceremony, both sides were making final preparations, and live shots continued to show Lin Ying and Green.

There is no way, it is because Lin Ying has been too aggressive in the past two games. As a player who plays against Lin Ying, Green's attention has naturally skyrocketed.

Green seemed very calm and seemed to be in a really good mood.

Maybe he really enjoys being in the spotlight.

All preparations before the game were completed, and the starting lineups of both teams began to appear.

Jump ball from Jokic and McGee in the center circle.

McGee has outstanding physical talent and historical talent from the neck down, and is also called "Olajuki" by fans.

He easily beat Jokic and gave the Warriors the opportunity to take the lead.

The Warriors advanced to the frontcourt, with McGitchen preparing for an off-ball pick-and-roll at the bottom of the weak-side basket, while Green prepared for support and pick-and-roll near the free throw line.

And Splash's movement also dropped from the high position to between the free throw line and the basket, which is closer to the inside.

It can be seen from this that Green had a poor outside feel before and forced Cole to optimize his tactics.

James restrained Lin Ying, Curry restrained the two, and Thompson cut out from the side and received a pass from Green and shot a three-pointer.

"Uh-huh!"

The knife fell from the hand.

This tactical adjustment by the Warriors seems to be quite effective!

The scene suddenly burst into cheers from Bay Area fans.

They are not New York fans. They will cheer for Lin Ying's performance. They are loyal to the home team!

And although the time between the last game is not that long, but after three days, when I look at them with admiration, they are no longer the same as before!

During the transition between offense and defense, Lin Ying reached the frontcourt, and it was Green who defended him.

Different from the previous game, Green directly defended Lin Ying this time.

It seems that he also learned lessons from the previous game, adjusted his defensive method, and restricted Lin Ying from catching the ball.

When seeing this, Lin Ying's expression was obviously stunned.

After seeing Lin Ying's reaction, Green felt secretly happy.

Sure enough, the best way to restrict Lin Ying's performance is to restrict him from catching the ball. This is much easier than guarding him.

Well, that's what Green thought at this moment.

But the next second, he was completely confused.

Because Lin Ying had his back against him, he shouted directly at Jokic who was holding the ball:

"Give me the ball, I'm open here."

"?"

"!"

In fact, let alone Green, even Jokic has experienced such a psychological change.

But looking at the serious request from the team boss, it was impossible for Jokic not to give it.

Then, just as Green was stunned, Lin Ying had already received the ball from Jokic.

He didn't wait for Green to turn around completely. After leaning against Green for a moment, he changed direction and broke through Green to pass him.

The Warriors' interior defense was very fast. James had already looked at this side and then quickly came to help defend.

The reason why Green dared to defend Lin Ying so closely was that, in addition to restricting Lin Ying from catching the ball, there was another important point. The Warriors had already made defensive arrangements in advance.

In other words, he gave his back completely to his teammates.

Looking at James coming to help defend, Lin Ying directly chose to make a pull-up jump shot.

James jumped up to interfere at this time.

"Uh-huh!"

But before that happened, Lin Ying still sent the ball steadily into the basket.

"Why is he shooting with his right hand?"

After Lin Ying scored the goal, many fans suddenly had such an idea in their minds.

But after popping up, they were soon laughing themselves.

Lin Ying acted too hard in the last game against the Knicks, and they still haven't adjusted yet!

In the Warriors' offense, James cut in after a pick-and-roll, received Curry's long pass from the outside, dodged and dunked.

The Warriors' state has had its ups and downs, but as the game continues, the cooperation between the two superstars has become more and more skillful.

Scores were scored in the opening two attacks, and the Warriors are indeed in much better shape than they were in the Christmas Day game.

The performance of his teammates also inspired Green's mental attributes. He continued to struggle with Lin Ying off the ball on the defensive end, and his movements became larger.

Judging from his posture, tonight he was going to devote all his energy to the defensive end to consume Lin Ying.

Then just when he was exerting all his energy again, Lin Ying's familiar words appeared in his ears again.

And this time he heard it clearly and understood it.

"Give me the ball, I'm open now!"

Vacant seat?

Is Lin Ying treating him like air?

After realizing this, he instantly became furious.

It was normal for him to be unable to guard against Lin Ying, but Lin Ying's words were completely humiliating him!

Jokic reacted quickly this time. When Lin Ying turned to ask for it, he directly gave him a lob.

Lin Ying jumped to catch the ball, then leaned against Green.

Green directly lowered his weight and pressed against Lin Ying, and his hands were stuck on Lin Ying's waist.

Lin Ying has to pay the price for what he just said!

"Whoosh!"

Just when he was thinking this, Lin Ying suddenly turned around and broke through to the basket.

However, Green's reaction was quick enough this time. The moment Lin Ying broke through, he put his center of gravity away and then moved inside.

A very important reason for his three-point recovery is that he lost some weight again at the request of the coaching staff.

Of course, he will not admit that the weight gain this season is due to lack of self-discipline in the offseason.

But the final result is that his current weight has returned to the same value as last season, which allows him to regain flexibility on the defensive end.

Well, Lin Ying made a sudden stop to get rid of Green and then made another sudden stop for a jumper.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball hits the basket steadily again!

Green has indeed become more flexible, but it is still not enough to defend against Lin Ying alone!

The fans at the scene felt even more complicated at this time.

Because Lin Ying's continuous shooting felt extremely soft, as silky as Dove.

This really verifies what Lin Ying said in the post-match interview. He wanted to rest his right hand so that he could perform in tonight's game!

Of course, whether it is silky or not is not the point at all. The point is,

Green is going to explode!

Lin Ying didn't think of him as air, but he really looked like air!

If it weren't for knowing that Lin Ying was on the other side, he would have wanted to go up and fight with him right now!

Then, what Green never expected was that this was just the beginning!

After the Warriors missed a wave of offense and the Nets advanced to the frontcourt, Lin Ying was not in a hurry to get the ball this time. Instead, he smiled and looked at Cole on the sidelines.

When Cole saw Lin Ying looking at him during the game, he sat up straight inexplicably.

As Lin Ying's former team general manager and former assistant coach, Cole can be regarded as an old acquaintance of Lin Ying.

Naturally, he should be more serious about the attention coming from old acquaintances.

Then, Lin Ying's next words made him stand up straight and almost collapse.

"Steve, why didn't you send someone to guard me?"

Damn it!

Lin Ying was trash-talking Cole!

No, nor is it.

Although this trash talk was directed at Cole, it seemed that it was Green who was being targeted.

A world where only Green was injured seemed to appear in a short time!

Cole obviously realized what Lin Ying was going to do, because he was too familiar with this scene.

When Rodman was still a rookie, he was at odds with Bird because of his comment that "Bird is only famous because he is white."

Later, in order to punish Rodman, Bird did these things to Rodman in the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals.

In that game, Rodman was not only sprayed by Bird until he shut up, but he was also beaten to tears.

People on social media were speculating about what kind of coolness Lin Ying would show tonight, but they didn't seem to have guessed this at all!

And because Lin Ying didn't ask for the ball in this attack, Durant on the other side had automatically taken the ball and started the second tactic. Lin Ying had enough time to continue communicating with "Cole".

"Steve, are you really not going to send someone to guard me? If you keep shooting open like this, I will score 60+ points tonight!"

At this time, Cole couldn't hold back at all, and he just... laughed.

Lin Ying, it's not enough to eat shrimps and pig hearts, he also has to eat Green as a dish!

However, Cole did not have time to react otherwise, because Durant had already passed the ball when he broke through and was flanked.

Lin Ying made a beautiful sudden start. After turning around and getting rid of Green, he caught the ball and shot another three-pointer.

"Uh-huh!"

The knife falls from the hand!

Lin Ying looked down at his right hand.

After checking his eyes, this was indeed the hand he had never used in the previous game.

Then he turned around and looked at Cole with a smile, and made a "3" sign to Cole.

Well, this is already the third goal in a row he scored over Green!
